The peak units were intended to run from the west end stations. Since they run so much I don't think it matters where they spend time, probably mostly on the street and Alex Hospital.
Alex recently got a SAFER grant but that class of recruits hasn't started yet. I am not sure where the extra manpower to man Rescue 206 is coming from. I would think they would increase staffing to 4 on suppression apparatus before they would put a cross manned rig in service. If AFD is anything like the full time depts around here this time of year there are fewer requests for vacation so it is easier to be fully manned across the shifts and sometimes you are able to supplement manning.
Safety 201 from Sta 202 - it started out at 201 and moved to 202 when Station 209 opened I believe
EMS 232 from Sta 203
Battalion 211, EMS 231, Aide from Sta 204
Battalion 212 from Sta 206
This is as of last November, I am not sure if any changes have been made since. I haven't heard of any though.

New medics units M213 and M214 are peak time units staffed between the hours of 0700-1900. These units are not geographically bound to any part of the city. They will run calls when and where needed. There is only 1 unit in-service 6 days a week and the 7th day the shifts overlap giving the city 2 medic units.
BC211 and Aide215 currently run out of station 205 on Cameron St.
